In today’s digital age, more and more families are on social media platforms (平台) to share their lives and experiences. Here some views from our forum participants (参与者) about this topic. ProInfluencer: Hello, everyone! As a family social media influencer myself, I believe there are many great things about it. Firstly, by sharing our daily routines, challenges, and wins, we create content (内容) that people really care about. It’s like making a big family community. Secondly, our content gives information, advice and ideas to help them with things like being a parent, running a business, or cooking. Concerned Parent: I get why it’s fun, but I worry about privacy (隐私). When families share every aspect of their lives online, especially when it involves children. It might put their privacy and safety in danger. Sharing too much can be risky, and kids might not realize how posting their lives online can affect them in the future. ________ I see both sides of the coin. On one side, family social media influencers usually show a perfect picture of their family life. This can make their followers feel like their own lives aren’t good enough, because they compare them to the “perfect” pictures online. On the other side, these influencers can also inspire (激励) and encourage their audience by sharing happy experiences and what they do every day. Family First: While I enjoy the education and inspiration that family social media influencers provide, I worry about how it affects family life. When families always take pictures and share everything they do, it can take up a lot of time. It might make family members feel like they need to make good content instead of just enjoying time together. We shouldn’t let trying to be popular online take away from the real love and fun we have as a family. 1．“Prolnfluencer” refers to someone who ________. A．doesn’t like social media influencers B．supports being a family social media influencer C．thinks social media is neither good nor bad D．is worried about social media influencers 2．Concerned Parent believes that a possible danger of sharing family life online is ________. A．it makes people feel like their own lives aren’t good enough B．it takes up too much family time C．it could endanger the privacy and safety of children D．it makes families focus too much on creating content 3．The name for the third participant could be ________. A．Balanced Viewer B．Social Fan C．Perfect Parent D．Daily Sharer 4．According to Family First, ________ should come first. A．creating good content for social media B．showing a perfect picture of family life C．protecting children’s privacy online D．spending quality time together as a family 5．Which post do most people reply to? A．ProInfluencer. B．Concerned Parent. C．The third participant. D．Family First. 6．The forum discussion is mainly about ________. A．how to become a famous social media influencer B．why families should stop using social media C．the different opinions on families sharing their lives online D．how social media helps children become more confident 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．A 6．C 【导语】本文是一篇论坛讨论，体裁为议论文。主要围绕家庭在社交媒体上分享生活的利弊展开，呈现了四位参与者的不同观点 (支持、担忧、中立权衡、家庭优先)。 1．细节理解题。根据“As a family social media influencer myself, I believe there are many great things about it…”可知，ProInfluencer以家庭社交媒体博主身份支持这种行为，并列举了其好处 (如建立社区、提供建议等)。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“It might put their privacy and safety in danger…especially when it involves children”可知，Concerned Parent认为分享儿童生活可能危及隐私和安全。故选C。 3．推理判断题。第三位参与者未署名，但其观点提到“I see both sides of the coin…”，既指出完美形象可能引发焦虑，也承认其激励作用，体现中立权衡的态度。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“We shouldn’t let trying to be popular online take away from the real love and fun we have as a family”可知，Family First认为家庭共度时光应优先于创作内容。故选D。 5．推理判断题。论坛讨论中，ProInfluencer是第一个发言者，后文其他参与者均围绕其观点展开反驳或补充 (如Concerned Parent针对隐私问题、Family First针对时间分配问题)，因此可推断ProInfluencer的帖子最可能是讨论的起点。故选A。 6．主旨大意题。全文通过四位参与者的发言，呈现了对家庭分享社交媒体生活的不同态度 (支持、担忧、中立、家庭优先)，选项C全面概括主题。故选C。 （2025·上海奉贤·二模） Small traditions bring big confidenceWhat do you usually do before exams? Are there any special traditions in your country? 4 replies            Li Yan (Henan) 6 April In the UK, there are many fun traditions before exams. In some countryside areas of England, people may see “wishing trees” with coins hammered (钉入) into the bark (树皮). Students believe this will bring good luck from the “tree spirits”. At the University of Oxford, there is a custom of touching the “Kissing Stone”, an old stone inside the chapel (教堂), to get good luck. Also, some students avoid eating chicken before exams. The reason is simple and funny: “You don’t want to be a chicken and get scared during the exam!” Like Comment            Jamal Carter (UK) 6 April In South Korea, we give our friends sticky rice cakes and taffies (太妃糖) before exams. This is because the word “stick” sounds like “pass” in Korean. People believe that eating sticky food helps students “stick” to success and pass their tests. It is a way to show support and wish each other good luck. I remember when my best friend had a big test, I bought his favorite sticky rice cakes to make him happy. This tradition makes us feel warm and strong before exams. Like Comment            Min-joon Kim (South Korea) 7 April We eat kaya toast with runny eggs for breakfast—the yellow yolk (蛋黄) means “golden scores”! At schools, seniors give juniors “lucky pencils” wrapped in red string. Some families visit the local temples to rub the Buddha’s belly. My secret? I arrange all my highlighters in rainbow order while whispering “A~hah!” three times fast! Like Comment            Priya Lim (Singapore) 8 April In Istanbul (伊斯坦布尔), we have special exam traditions! Before tests, students drink “exam tea” made with apple and cloves (丁香). We tap our heads twice like knocking on doors, saying “Bilgi gelsin!” (Let knowledge come!). The most important rule? Always enter the exam hall with your right foot first—stepping in with your left foot means bad luck! Like Comment            Emre Yilmaz (Turkey) 8 April 1．In the UK, students _________ to bring good luck before exams. A．eat chicken B．hammer coins into trees C．eat yellow yolk D．drink “exam tea” 2．Korean students eat sticky food before exams because _________.

A．Buddha’s belly B．lucky pencils wrapped in red string C．kaya toast with runny eggs D．highlighters 4．If a Turkish student enters the exam hall with their left foot first, he will _________. A．be asked to leave B．have to tap his head again C．be given them extra time D．feel nervous about bad luck 5．We can probably find this passage _________. A．on a local newspaper B．on an educational magazine C．on an online forum D．on a school notice board 6．The common purpose of all these traditions before exams across cultures is _________ . A．to make students study harder B．to bring good luck and confidence C．to follow traditional rules D．to celebrate after exams 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．C 6．B 【导语】本文讲述了不同国家在考试前的一些特殊传统和习俗，这些传统旨在为学生带来好运和信心。 1．细节理解题。根据题干中“In the UK, there are many fun traditions before exams. In some countryside areas of England, people may see ‘wishing trees’ with coins hammered into the bark.”可知，英国学生将硬币钉入树中以带来好运。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据题干中“In South Korea, we give our friends sticky rice cakes and taffies before exams. This is because the word ‘stick’ sounds like ‘pass’ in Korean.”可知，韩国学生吃黏性食物是因为“黏”在韩语中与“通过”发音相似。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据题干中“At schools, seniors give juniors ‘lucky pencils’ wrapped in red string.”可知，新加坡的学长会给学弟学妹们包着红绳的“幸运铅笔”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据题干中“Always enter the exam hall with your right foot first—stepping in with your left foot means bad luck!”可知，土耳其学生如果左脚先进入考场，意味着坏运气，因此会感到紧张。故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据题干中“4 replies”和“Like Comment”等信息，可以推断这篇文章可能来自一个在线论坛。故选C。 6．推理判断题。根据题干中“Small traditions bring big confidence”以及各国学生为了带来好运和信心的传统，可以推断这些传统的共同目的是带来好运和信心。故选B。 （2025·上海宝山·二模） Citizens from 38 countries, including Australia, New Zealand and others, can enjoy a 30-day visa-free (免签) stay until Dec. 31, 2025.

Only when three strikes into the hole were achieved did the player win the point.Cuju First recorded 2,000 years ago, cuju is known as the earliest form of football.

UNFAMILIAR TIESImagine waking up in the future in a house that is not the one you went to sleep in. Imagine not recognizing your children—even though they all seem to think you are their mum. This wonderful sci-fi (科幻) film takes us to a world where people buy and sell memories. Paula thinks her job is very boring, so when she gets home she likes watching films with special effects, but she’s not a fan of sci-fi films. She also likes films with fast action. MAD MAX: FURY ROADIt is an amazing action movie. In a dry and dangerous world, Max and Imperator Furiosa drive fast cars to escape bad guys. The cars are cool, and they race across the desert. The best part is the non-stop action. There are big crashes and dramatic fight scenes. The special effects make everything look real. The movie is so thrilling that it will make your heart race and eyes widen. If you love action, this is the movie for you. Graham is an imaginative person. He often loses himself in daydreams about different historical events. This is why he is so interested in cartoons based on real stories, as they bring those historical stories to life in a lively way for him. 1．JOAN OF ARC is a(n) ________.

He was suffering from hormone deficiency (激素缺乏症), but he was determined. He never gave up his dream. FC Barcelona thought he was good enough to join them. Now he is considered their best player. Henry, a former teammate at FC Barcelona, thinks the best thing is not to talk about Messi, but to watch him. Simon, in his book The Football Men, calls Messi the classic Argentine pibe, the man-boy who is still like a child. In other words, football for him is play. Here is Jason’s interview with Messi, the world’s best footballer. Jason: Are you the classic pibe? Messi: That’s what I’m trying to do. Football is a game. I’m trying to have fun. The day I stop having fun is the day I retire. Jason: Does it feel as if you are still living in a golden prison, from which you escape only to play football? Messi: I try to live as normal a life as I can. I try to go to the cinema, to shop in the centre, to go out to a restaurant. Fortunately in the city of Barcelona, people allow me to live as a normal person, like I am. Jason: How does it feel to know you’re the best football player in the world? Messi: Such a question is very complicated. I am very grateful for everything I’ve been able to achieve, for the family I have, for the people around me. But I believe better things will come. I have so much to learn. Remember: I am only 24 years old. 1．From the first paragraph, we know that Messi ________.

This article can help you find out how advancements in communications have transformed the way people communicate and how businesses are run. Smoke signals and carrier pigeonsFrom historical dramas, you might have seen methods of communication such as messages relayed via (通过) fire smoke signals or the pigeon post. Postal lettersWith the rise of maritime (海的) shipping, postal letters were carried between two main areas of land in the world. However, these letters often took months to arrive and might be lost due to disasters at sea. Telegraphs and telephonesThe telegraph was developed in the 1830s to transmit electrical signals over a wire installed between telegraph stations. Later, scientists invented receivers that were able to turn electricity into sound. This led to the development of telephones in 1871 which allowed the human voice to be transmitted (传送) over wires. SmartphonesSince the 2000s, telephones and mobile phones have developed rapidly, enabling people to keep their attention in a range of functions beyond making calls. With key developments in wireless networks, mobile processors and camera technology, people are now able to communicate with others across different time zones and over various distances via instant video calls using their smartphones. 1．In what order is the article written? A．In the order of space. B．In the order of time. C．In the logical order. D．In the order of events developments. 2．Which of the following is the right statement about postal letters?

This led to the development of telephones in 1871 which allowed the human voice to be transmitted (传送) over wires.”可知，电报和电话都是通过电线传输的。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据文中“From historical dramas, you might have seen methods of communication such as messages relayed via (通过) fire smoke signals or the pigeon post.”可知，从历史剧中，你可能了解到古人曾用烟雾信号或信鸽传书来传递信息，故“relayed”的意思是传递。故选A。 5．词句猜测题。根据文中“With key developments in wireless networks, mobile processors and cameras technology, people are now able to communicate with others across different time zones and over various distances via instant video calls using their smartphones.”可知，这里说的是人们可以跨越不同时区和距离交流，故划线部分应该是指来自不同国家的人。故选C。 6．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了远距离通信方式从古代到现代的发展变化。故选A。 （2025·上海虹口·二模） App Downloads for Your Phone ________ Apps Meow Talk GET 6,000+Ratings 4.2 ★★★★☆ This app recognizes different sounds a cat makes and offers English translations of them. For example, one type of sound might mean “feed me” while another could be translated “let me outside”. The app can use machine learning to improve at recognizing a cat’s sounds. In other words, the app can be tailored to YOUR cat. This is important because cats do not all have a shared language, but individual cats often use certain sounds to mean certain things.James:  ★★★★☆    2 days ago The translation makes sense.

In today’s digital age, more and more families are on social media platforms (平台) to share their lives and experiences. Here some views from our forum participants (参与者) about this topic. ProInfluencer: Hello, everyone! As a family social media influencer myself, I believe there are many great things about it. Firstly, by sharing our daily routines, challenges, and wins, we create content (内容) that people really care about. It’s like making a big family community. Secondly, our content gives information, advice and ideas to help them with things like being a parent, running a business, or cooking. Concerned Parent: I get why it’s fun, but I worry about privacy (隐私). When families share every aspect of their lives online, especially when it involves children. It might put their privacy and safety in danger. Sharing too much can be risky, and kids might not realize how posting their lives online can affect them in the future. ________ I see both sides of the coin. On one side, family social media influencers usually show a perfect picture of their family life. This can make their followers feel like their own lives aren’t good enough, because they compare them to the “perfect” pictures online. On the other side, these influencers can also inspire (激励) and encourage their audience by sharing happy experiences and what they do every day. Family First: While I enjoy the education and inspiration that family social media influencers provide, I worry about how it affects family life. When families always take pictures and share everything they do, it can take up a lot of time. It might make family members feel like they need to make good content instead of just enjoying time together. We shouldn’t let trying to be popular online take away from the real love and fun we have as a family. 1．“Prolnfluencer” refers to someone who ________. A．doesn’t like social media influencers B．supports being a family social media influencer C．thinks social media is neither good nor bad D．is worried about social media influencers 2．Concerned Parent believes that a possible danger of sharing family life online is ________. A．it makes people feel like their own lives aren’t good enough B．it takes up too much family time C．it could endanger the privacy and safety of children D．it makes families focus too much on creating content 3．The name for the third participant could be ________. A．Balanced Viewer B．Social Fan C．Perfect Parent D．Daily Sharer 4．According to Family First, ________ should come first. A．creating good content for social media B．showing a perfect picture of family life C．protecting children’s privacy online D．spending quality time together as a family 5．Which post do most people reply to? A．ProInfluencer. B．Concerned Parent. C．The third participant. D．Family First. 6．The forum discussion is mainly about ________. A．how to become a famous social media influencer B．why families should stop using social media C．the different opinions on families sharing their lives online D．how social media helps children become more confident （2025·上海奉贤·二模） Small traditions bring big confidenceWhat do you usually do before exams? Are there any special traditions in your country? 4 replies            Li Yan (Henan) 6 April In the UK, there are many fun traditions before exams. In some countryside areas of England, people may see “wishing trees” with coins hammered (钉入) into the bark (树皮). Students believe this will bring good luck from the “tree spirits”. At the University of Oxford, there is a custom of touching the “Kissing Stone”, an old stone inside the chapel (教堂), to get good luck. Also, some students avoid eating chicken before exams. The reason is simple and funny: “You don’t want to be a chicken and get scared during the exam!” Like Comment            Jamal Carter (UK) 6 April In South Korea, we give our friends sticky rice cakes and taffies (太妃糖) before exams. This is because the word “stick” sounds like “pass” in Korean. People believe that eating sticky food helps students “stick” to success and pass their tests. It is a way to show support and wish each other good luck. I remember when my best friend had a big test, I bought his favorite sticky rice cakes to make him happy. This tradition makes us feel warm and strong before exams. Like Comment            Min-joon Kim (South Korea) 7 April We eat kaya toast with runny eggs for breakfast—the yellow yolk (蛋黄) means “golden scores”! At schools, seniors give juniors “lucky pencils” wrapped in red string. Some families visit the local temples to rub the Buddha’s belly. My secret? I arrange all my highlighters in rainbow order while whispering “A~hah!” three times fast! Like Comment            Priya Lim (Singapore) 8 April In Istanbul (伊斯坦布尔), we have special exam traditions! Before tests, students drink “exam tea” made with apple and cloves (丁香). We tap our heads twice like knocking on doors, saying “Bilgi gelsin!” (Let knowledge come!). The most important rule? Always enter the exam hall with your right foot first—stepping in with your left foot means bad luck! Like Comment            Emre Yilmaz (Turkey) 8 April 1．In the UK, students _________ to bring good luck before exams.

Her wonderful story is told in a very moving way in this animated version (动画版本), with the voices of many famous film stars. Besides, it tells a real-life story from historical facts. But young children might find it horrible. Dawn loves thinking about the future and how human society will be different. She’s a fan of films that are set in a time many years from now but dislikes films that are too frightening. TOMORROW NOWThe year is 2080 and for the last ten years the Earth has been in contact with aliens. Today is the day that we finally welcome them to our planet. How will they change our lives and are they really as friendly as they seem? It is one of the most frightening films you will see this year. UNFAMILIAR TIESImagine waking up in the future in a house that is not the one you went to sleep in. Imagine not recognizing your children—even though they all seem to think you are their mum. This wonderful sci-fi (科幻) film takes us to a world where people buy and sell memories. Paula thinks her job is very boring, so when she gets home she likes watching films with special effects, but she’s not a fan of sci-fi films. She also likes films with fast action. MAD MAX: FURY ROADIt is an amazing action movie. In a dry and dangerous world, Max and Imperator Furiosa drive fast cars to escape bad guys. The cars are cool, and they race across the desert. The best part is the non-stop action. There are big crashes and dramatic fight scenes. The special effects make everything look real. The movie is so thrilling that it will make your heart race and eyes widen. If you love action, this is the movie for you. Graham is an imaginative person.

He was suffering from hormone deficiency (激素缺乏症), but he was determined. He never gave up his dream. FC Barcelona thought he was good enough to join them. Now he is considered their best player. Henry, a former teammate at FC Barcelona, thinks the best thing is not to talk about Messi, but to watch him. Simon, in his book The Football Men, calls Messi the classic Argentine pibe, the man-boy who is still like a child. In other words, football for him is play. Here is Jason’s interview with Messi, the world’s best footballer. Jason: Are you the classic pibe? Messi: That’s what I’m trying to do. Football is a game. I’m trying to have fun. The day I stop having fun is the day I retire. Jason: Does it feel as if you are still living in a golden prison, from which you escape only to play football? Messi: I try to live as normal a life as I can. I try to go to the cinema, to shop in the centre, to go out to a restaurant. Fortunately in the city of Barcelona, people allow me to live as a normal person, like I am. Jason: How does it feel to know you’re the best football player in the world? Messi: Such a question is very complicated. I am very grateful for everything I’ve been able to achieve, for the family I have, for the people around me. But I believe better things will come. I have so much to learn. Remember: I am only 24 years old. 1．From the first paragraph, we know that Messi ________.
